About Sawmill Peak:

Part of Lassen Nat'l Forest, Sawmill Peak is a fire lookout tower for CDF. Tower is manned 24/7 during peak fire season, and the lookouts usually appreciate a little company.
Just past (East) the tower there are a few climbable crags that you can see clearly from the other side of the canyon as you go down to the West Branch Feather River, cross over and come up the other side.

Nearest town or city:

Paradise, Magalia

Directions:

Park at gate leading into tower, or at the tower itself if the gate is open and the lookout doesn't mind.
